KitchenAid Cooktops: Format and Fuel Type

A cooktop is a standalone cooking surface installed into a counter cutout, separate from a wall oven. KitchenAid's cooktop lineup covers four fuel and heating types: gas, Gas-on-Glass, electric radiant, and induction. Each format has different installation requirements, cookware compatibility, and cleaning characteristics, so identifying which fits your kitchen's existing connection type and counter configuration is the first step before comparing models.

KitchenAid cooktops are available in 30-inch and 36-inch widths across most fuel types. You can browse current models in our Cooktops collection and compare options alongside full ranges in our Ranges collection.

KitchenAid Gas-on-Glass Cooktops

Launched in 2024, KitchenAid's Gas-on-Glass cooktop combines gas burners with a smooth glass cooktop surface. The 36-inch model includes five burners with a range from a 5,000 BTU simmer burner to a central 18,000 BTU high-heat burner and a 15,000 BTU second burner for high-temperature techniques. Cast-iron grates sit on top of the glass surface. The glass top wipes clean with soap, water, and a soft cloth, and the stainless steel control knobs are dishwasher-safe.

Gas-on-Glass is suited to households that want the responsive heat control of gas burners combined with the easier surface cleanup of a flat glass top. It is available in black and stainless configurations depending on the model.

KitchenAid Induction Cooktops

KitchenAid induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat cookware directly rather than the cooktop surface itself. The surface around the active cooking zone remains significantly cooler than a gas or electric radiant surface during cooking. KitchenAid's 36-inch 5-element sensor induction model includes a Power Boost function that activates the highest heat setting for rapid boiling — KitchenAid states the 3,000W element on Power Boost brings three quarts of water to a boil on average nearly twice as fast as a 10,000 BTU gas burner. After five minutes, Power Boost automatically adjusts to maintain a rolling boil rather than continuing at maximum output.

Induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base. Cast iron, carbon steel, and magnetic stainless steel are compatible. Aluminium, copper, and non-magnetic stainless steel cookware will not work on an induction surface. Confirming cookware compatibility before purchasing an induction cooktop is important for households that currently use non-magnetic pots and pans.

KitchenAid Gas Cooktops

KitchenAid's standard sealed-burner gas cooktops are available in 30-inch and 36-inch widths with four and five burner configurations. Gas cooktops require a gas line connection and are compatible with all standard cookware including non-magnetic materials. Sealed burners contain spills within each burner well, which limits how far liquid can spread across the surface. Continuous cast-iron grates on select models allow cookware to slide from burner to burner without lifting.

Shopping for KitchenAid Cooktops at The Brick

When comparing KitchenAid cooktop models, the most useful details to confirm before purchase are the fuel type available in your kitchen, the counter cutout dimensions required for the specific model, whether your existing cookware is compatible if you are considering induction, and the cooktop width relative to your counter space. Each of these has a direct impact on whether the model will work in your specific kitchen. Current availability and delivery options are best confirmed on the individual product page.

FAQ About KitchenAid Cooking Appliances

What is the difference between a cooktop and a range?

A range combines a cooking surface and an oven in a single freestanding or slide-in unit. A cooktop is only the cooking surface, installed into a counter cutout, and requires a separate wall oven if oven cooking is needed. The cooktop and wall oven installation allows each to be placed independently — such as a cooktop in an island and an oven at wall height — which is not possible with a range.

What is the KitchenAid Gas-on-Glass cooktop?

Gas-on-Glass is KitchenAid's cooktop format that combines gas burners with a smooth glass surface. Cast-iron grates sit on top of the glass, and the flat surface between burners wipes clean with soap and water. The 36-inch model includes five burners ranging from a 5,000 BTU simmer burner to a central 18,000 BTU high-heat burner. Control knobs are stainless steel and dishwasher-safe.

Do KitchenAid induction cooktops work with all cookware?

No. Induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base. Compatible materials include cast iron, carbon steel, and magnetic stainless steel. Non-magnetic materials such as aluminium, copper, glass, and non-magnetic stainless steel will not heat on an induction surface. Most cookware packaging indicates whether it is induction-compatible, and a simple test is to check whether a magnet adheres firmly to the bottom of the pot or pan.

What burner sizes are available on KitchenAid gas cooktops?

BTU output varies by model. The Gas-on-Glass lineup includes burners ranging from 5,000 BTU for low-heat simmering up to 18,000 BTU on the central high-heat burner. Standard sealed-burner gas cooktop models vary in BTU range by configuration. The specification sheet for each model lists the BTU output per burner, which is the most accurate reference for comparing heating capacity before purchase.
